Nancy Garden was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 15, 1938.
Because her family moved a great deal, she attended elementary schools in New
York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. She earned an M.F.A. from Columbia
University in 1961, and an M.A. in 1962. After working in theater and teaching
at Hunter College, she began working as an editor for a commercial editing
firm, then for Scholastic magazines and Houghton-Mifflin, while beginning her
career as an author of young adult books.

Her first titles were mostly nonfiction, but soon she began to focus
on fiction of several kinds, including mystery, fantasy, and young adult, which
led to her involvement with book censorship issues. Her book
Annie on My Mind became the subject of a federal
court case in 1995 and was eventually returned to the school library shelves.
Since then Garden has written about and continues to advocate against book
censorship. She has won the ALA Best Books, ALA Best of the Best, and ALA Best
Books for Young Adults awards, among other awards.

The Nancy Garden collection comprises manuscript production materials
for a number of titles, and consists chiefly of corrected typescripts, some of
them carbons or photocopies, notes, notes and correspondence from editors, and
some research materials and clippings. There are also page proofs and
galleys.
